During an appearance on the Business News radio show, R. Kaunas discussed the established “drone deal” with Ukraine. He noted that recent changes within the ministry team mean that key personnel are now positioned to translate this agreement into tangible, on-the-ground decisions.
Kaunas stated that the primary objective is to localize Ukrainian drone production within Lithuania, aiming for joint manufacturing capabilities to meet the specific needs of Ukraine. According to Kaunas, this initiative represents a joint technological development effort. He added that while the Lithuanian drone sector has shown prior development, this collaboration would provide an additional impetus for technological advancement.
Addressing a prior discussion concerning the protection of Lithuanian airspace, Kaunas and L. Kasčiūnas jointly presented their view on the investment. They argued that while the endeavor constitutes a joint investment supporting Ukraine, Lithuania stands to gain additional benefits.
Specifically, they anticipate that the project will serve as a significant stimulus for developing advanced Ukrainian technology within the country. The overall framework suggests a partnership designed to bolster defense capabilities through shared industrial capacity and technological expertise.
